I've often read that, but in my experience it's not true. Drivers before 7 don't work on 7+. Exes from win XP era often fail to run, even with the compatibility modes offered by the OS. Heck, the only times I used compatibility modes where as workarounds for binaries that didn't exist when XP support had already ended...

I thought that Windows 10+ after a certain build made signed drivers mandatory without safe mode or other workarounds? I know I’ve tried Windows 7 drivers for some things and ran into that issue.
